如何把手机Lomo化 · How to dress up your handphone in a Lomo fashion

器具:以下加粗的字
Material: as the following bolded words

虽然手机缺乏了Lomography其中一项主要的元素——胶卷——但是其他元素可以在非常简单的方法下赋予手机。
You handphone might never capture pictures in films, but other Lomographic properties can be attached to it just by some simple steps.

Lomography的vignette可以用一个“面具”来制造。在此我用Milo罐上的锡纸,剪成一个正方形,然后中间掏出一个稍微小过镜框的正方形。你可以开着手机相机来调整位置,直到正方形的框刚好在正中间。注意,框的边长依手机相机的镜头而定(我给Nokia 3110c用的是2.5×2.5mm)。
The characteristic vignette can be bought out by a square mask in front of your handphone lens. I used the metal foil from Milo can and cut a square in the middle of it (the length of each side varies according to your lens' diameter; I used 2.5×2.5mm for Nokia 3110c).You can adjust the position of the mask by looking through the screen (with the camera function on of course).

接下来Lomography的塑料镜头的朦胧效果可以被透明胶纸带出(对,就这么简单)。反正你也需要胶纸来固定“面具”。
Next the blurring effect caused by plastic lenses can be bought out as simply as a transparent tape, which is also required to fix the mask into position.

这里是一个室内(上)和室外(下)的示范。
Here's the results, one for the indoor (above) and another for the outdoor (below) testing.

最主要的效果是一直朦胧的对焦,以及耐人寻味的渐暗边框。过后会继续尝试这个技巧。不用电脑加工了!
The resulting pictures carry the trademark vignette and blurry focus of Lomography, what's more it's done without any computer post-processing! Stay tuned for further work on this.

建议 / Further experimenting:
一、可以用有颜色的透明胶纸,会有特别的滤镜效果;
二、如果以有一双巧手,不妨尝试不同的“面具”形状(星形、心形、长方形、圆形等)。我选择正方形是因为对120胶卷太有feel了。
a) Using a coloured transparent tape might give extra filtering effect.
b) Those who excels in craftsmanship might wanna try other masking shape (e.g. star, heart, rectangular, circle). I chose square for the love of 120mm format.
